“And we are put on earth a little space, That we may learn to bear the beams of love”
— William Blake
Simplified Meaning:
We're here on Earth for a short time to learn how to accept and handle the power and warmth of love. Imagine standing outside on a very sunny day. At first, the bright light might be too strong, and you may need some time to get used to it. Similarly, experiencing true love and kindness can feel overwhelming. It might take practice to fully embrace it, just like getting used to the sun's rays without discomfort. This idea teaches us to be open to love, even when it's intense or feels unfamiliar, and suggests we can grow stronger and more compassionate by doing so. By learning to welcome love, we enrich our lives and those around us.
